Patterson rushed the ball three times for 31 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-24 preseason loss to the Lions.
With Jaylen Warren (hamstring) sidelined, Patterson was the second back on the field behind Najee Harris. Patterson played with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but his highlight of the game came on the team's first drive, when he ripped through the middle of the field for a 31-yard touchdown scamper. Warren looks likely to be ready for Week 1, but Patterson would likely get extra passing-down work and some occasional carries if Warren is unable to suit up.
